Part of a register of contract abstracts from Oxyrhynchos. The best preserved entry records the cession of 1 aroura of catoecic land near the hamlet of Thatysis by Paesis alias Isidoros to the minor Demetria, represented by her great-uncle Polydeukes; the next entry begins a loan from Aristandros to Areios.

In English machine translation

[column 1] 360 [and] all equipment, price 1 talent […] […] Paesis also called Isidoros, son of Sarapion son of Sarapion, his mother being Tausis, and by adoption son of Anoubion son of Kalas, of the Euergetis quarter, acknowledges to Demetria daughter of Polydeukes, in the 2nd (block?) of the Archib(…) quarter, a minor, acting through her father's uncle Polydeukes the elder, of the same city: the acknowledging party has ceded to the minor Demetria, by agreement through the record office on the 2nd of Phamenoth of the 13th year, near the hamlet of Thatysis in the eastern toparchy, 1 aroura of land said by error to be public land of the Kynopolite nome, but being catoecic land of the Oxyrhynchite nome, this being the land which Paesis also called Isidoros had ceded to him by his aforementioned father by adoption. […] Aristandros son of Sarapion son of Sarapion, his mother being Arsinoe daughter of Theon, from the city of Oxyrhynchos, has lent to Areios son of Ariston […] [… lines lost …] [column 2] [… lines lost …] only single letters at the beginnings of about 12 lines survive [… lines lost …]

The land had been wrongly registered as public land of the Kynopolite nome though it was catoecic (settler) land of the Oxyrhynchite nome. The numeral 360 at the top is probably an entry or sheet number.
